好好說再見 曲：陶喆 詞：黃婷 These lyrics and this song have always(especially in the past few months) been making its rounds in my head over and over again, especially the question that Sharon asks; “How can we say a proper goodbye?”. Indeed, how can we say goodbye in a way that will leave others with a lasting image of yourself forever? I really like the way these lyrics are written, with a kind of round going in the second and last verses which repeat the first two lines, but change the last two lines, as if remembering for the very last time the words that one had spoken, the times that they had had together. But in the last verse, the question that hangs over this entire song is not answered; How can we say a proper goodbye? Tao ends by singing; “Forgive my silent goodbye”, leaving the question unanswered. Is there no way to say a proper goodbye? That’s all up to your interpretation! 我愛過妳笑的臉龐 我愛過妳心的善良 I loved your smiling face I loved the kindness of your heart 這些年有妳的時光 把我的孤獨都照亮 Those years and memories with you Lit up my loneliness

我記得妳說過的話（時間留不住一句話）I remember the words that you said (Time cannot keep a sentence) 我記得曾為妳瘋狂（何時過了年少輕狂）I still remember the crazy things I did for you (When did we pass this stage of reckless youth) 當情太深而緣太淺（當你離開我的世界）When the feelings are too deep but the fate is too shallow (When you leave my world) 至少要好好說再見（要怎麼好好說再見）At least we should say goodbye properly (How can we say goodbye properly)

一直以為真愛能直到永遠 Always thinking that real love would last forever 彼此相愛的每一天都是永遠 Being in love would help us to last forever 一直以為我們有同一個明天 Always thinking that we would have the same tomorrow 你曾是我的世界 不完整的世界 You were previously my world my incomplete world

如果花謝了會再開 如果錯了的還能改 If flowers wilt they will blossom again If there are wrongs they can be corrected 這些年累積的關懷 怎能說不在就不在 The accumulated care of those years How can we just say it doesn’t exist

感情不該一直受傷（為何愛總是帶著傷）Feelings should not continually be hurt (Why does love always bring hurt) 我不願讓妳再失望（有期望才會有失望）I can’t bear to see you disappointed again (With hopes there will always be disappointment) 當幸福碎成一片片（一顆心碎成一片片）When happiness breaks into many pieces (A heart shattering into pieces) 至少要好好說再見（要怎麼好好說再見）At least we should say a proper goodbye (How can we say goodbye properly)

一直以為真愛能直到永遠 Always thinking that real love would last forever 彼此相愛的每一天都是永遠 Being in love would help us to last forever 一直以為我們有同一個明天 Always thinking that we would have the same tomorrow 你曾是我的世界 不完整的世界 You were previously my world my incomplete world

相信妳會過得更好 我還不想把你忘掉 I believe that you will be better off without me I still can’t bear to forget you 別丟棄妳無邪的笑 再見面還可以擁抱 Don’t lose your innocent smile The next time we meet we can still embrace

我記得妳說過的話（時間留不住一句話）I remember the words that you said (Time cannot keep a sentence) 我記得曾為妳瘋狂（何時過了年少輕狂）I still remember the crazy things I did for you (When did we pass this stage of reckless youth) 當愛情不再像從前（你永遠是我的從前）When love is never again like it was before (You will always be in my past) 原諒我沉默的再見 Forgive my silent goodbye

On first look , this is probably just a quintessential chinese love song that could easily be forgotten, but the lyrics of Huang ting (who has written lyrics most notably for bin music taipei artists such as yen-J) really brings out the heartbreak not just of falling out of love, but the heart break of falling out of love for the first time. The innocence , the bitterness , the naivete of it all. Just beautiful!作詞：黃婷作曲：許哲珮

雨滴黏著我們 額前的髮梢 Droplets of rain stick to wisps of hair on our foreheads最後一道彩虹 偷走你的微笑 The last rainbow stole away your smile操場還迴盪著 昨天的喧鬧 The track field echoes with the noises of yesterday你卻放開手 往前跑 But you instead let go and raced forward

什麼童話故事 結局多美好 What fairy tale with a beautiful ending原來只不過是 安慰誰的驕傲 It seems that they were only used to appease someone’s pride眼淚流不停時 愛越來越小 when the tears keep falling love becomes less and less你曾給我的快樂 不會再多一秒 the happiness you gave me before cannot be for a second longer

你說的話會忘的 你送的花會忘的 the things you said will be forgotten the flowers you sent will be forgotten你在耳邊 喊我的聲音 我都能忘的 The sound of you yelling my name in my ear these things will all be forgotten你的心我不要了 醒過來我就好了 I don’t want your heart any longer When I wake up everything will be better我都懂了 這不過是 第一次失戀了 I understand now this is only just the first time ive been lost in love

塗掉日記裡面 有你的篇幅scribbling out the pages in my diary about you塗掉我們曾經 牽手的每一步 scribbling and wiping off every step that we walked holding hands反正世界很大 換一張地圖 The world is a big place anyway exchange it for a map我還是可以找到 不需要你的路 I can still find a path on which I don’t need you

你說的話會忘的 你送的花會忘的 the things you said will be forgotten the flowers you sent will be forgotten你在耳邊 喊我的聲音 我都能忘的 The sound of you yelling my name in my ear these things will all be forgotten你的心我不要了 醒過來我就好了 I don’t want your heart any longer When I wake up everything will be better我都懂了 這不過是 第一次失戀了 I understand now this is only just the first time ive been lost in love

你曾用溫柔體貼 打開我第一片藍天 You used to use gentleness and kindness to unlock my blue skies又把最初的熱烈 冷卻成一份思念 一個告別 and froze the initial passion into longing a goodbye

你的名字會忘的 你的側臉會忘的 Your name will be forgotten your face will be forgotten你給我的 你愛過我的 我都能忘的 what you gave me what you loved about me I can forget it all你的心我不要了 醒過來我就好了 I don’t want your heart any longer After waking up I will be better我都懂了 無所謂了 第一次失戀了 I understand now it all doesn’t matter now the first time I’ve been lost in love
